Chapter 76. May all things be auspicious and joyful.
He was truly at his wit's end.
He took a deep breath and reluctantly began to recount that dark chapter of his history.
“Back then, a few of my brothers heard that a girl with a very pure appearance had come to No. 1 Middle School, and they became interested. One of my brothers happened to see her after school one day, and that's when he got the idea.”
Song Shiyi's eyes flickered, his expression unreadable.
“But she’s too obedient, so there’s never a chance to ask her out. My brother finally managed to get a chance to talk to her, but she completely ignored him, being cold and arrogant.”
“My brother was embarrassed and felt bad, so I asked someone to help him spread some rumors.”
Judging from his guilty look, it was definitely not something nice he said.
Song Shiyi's expression remained calm, but her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly.
She pursed her lips, and memories gradually returned.
"What rumor?"
Si Yue hadn't learned about this at that time and was unaware of it. No one mentioned it later, so she was completely unaware of it.
Ye Ge felt he was about to get beaten up after saying that, so he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and shouted it all out.
"Song Shiyi may seem innocent, but she's actually quite promiscuous and has already been taken advantage of."
"He also said that he had experienced this before, but he wasn't a virgin, so he didn't enjoy it."
"If anyone is interested, he has photos and videos that you can buy if you have the money."
photo?
video?
It's definitely fake. AI technology is so advanced now.
Whether it's true or not, the seeds of doubt have already been sown.
What the truth is, it doesn't matter.
Song Shiyi bit her lower lip hard, her breathing becoming heavier.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the raging anger in her chest gradually subsided. When she opened them again, the ferocity in her eyes had faded, leaving only calm.
"Oh, it's you guys."
He Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, his gaze filled with a mixture of anger and shock, his tone tinged with disbelief.
"How could you fabricate such a scandalous rumor about a girl out of nowhere? Just because she rejected your advances?"
"Do you know that a few careless words can ruin a person's life?"
"They're a bunch of scum!"
He Zhao himself had experienced something similar and knew how devastating it was to be looked at with such mocking, sarcastic, and malicious eyes.
She glanced at Song Shiyi, who remained silent, and a hint of heartache, which she herself did not notice, appeared in her eyes.
Si Yue was furious.
She hadn't expected that Song Shiyi had gone through something like this before.
At that time, she couldn't speak, couldn't explain herself, and the people around her couldn't understand sign language.
How helpless she must have felt.
Just thinking about it makes my nose sting.
So she went up and punched him twice more, otherwise she wouldn't be able to vent her anger!
Si Yue pulled Song Shiyi into her arms, patted her head soothingly, and said with heartache, "It's all in the past, don't be sad over these unworthy people."
Song Shiyi slowly exhaled.
That period was truly her darkest time.
Every time she stepped into the school, every glance and every look that fell upon her made her feel uneasy.
Wherever she went, her classmates whispered among themselves, and some who disliked her deliberately brought it up loudly in class as a joke.
Even her teachers, the headmaster, and the principal talked to her to ask if it was true.
She could do nothing but shake her head.
Fortunately, the school was reasonable and soon revealed the truth of the matter to all teachers and students, explaining the origins of the photos and videos.
She was cleared of all charges.
It was also at that time that Shen Yanci and He Jinzhao were punished for their misconduct and violation of moral principles, and their eligibility for admission without examination was revoked.
At that time, everyone was saying that these two things happened too coincidentally.
Did Shen Yanci do something to seek justice for her childhood sweetheart that resulted in such a severe punishment?
As for He Jinzhao, it seems that there hasn't been much discussion about him.
Naturally, Song Shiyi also asked Shen Yanci about this.
The answer she received made her obedient to him from then on, and she was extremely grateful.
Of course, she also asked He Jinzhao.
At that moment, it seemed like he wanted to say something to himself, but he swallowed it back.
In the end, she just smiled gently.
"It's nothing serious, don't worry."
Don't be sad about this.
"You are the best Song Shiyi in the world. I hope you are like the bright sun, radiating confidence and light."
May everything go smoothly for you in the future, and may all things bring you joy.
Strange, that was her back then.
Why didn't we see the brilliance that belonged to He Jinzhao?
Why... can't I figure it out?
Now that I've stepped out of that mindset, I realize that everything is connected to He Jinzhao.
A drop of sweat fell, landing silently on the ground.
But her heart was pounding terribly fast, and her eyes were flashing.
An unbelievable thought popped into her mind.
No, no.
That's wrong.
It wasn't Shen Yanci who was punished because of her.
yes--
Congratulations today.
"It's He Jinzhao!"
Song Shiyi suddenly looked up, her fingertips trembling slightly, her heart churning like a stormy sea.
It turned out that Si Yue was asking how that matter was finally resolved.
Ye Ge told them everything they didn't know.
"That kid He Jinzhao is a complete madman. He single-handedly pinned more than twenty people to the ground and beat them up."
"If his friend hadn't happened to run into him and pulled him away, the consequences would have been..."
He swallowed hard, but didn't continue.
But everyone present understood.
He Zhao suddenly turned his head and glared at the person in Si Yue's arms, his face flushed red and his anger rising.
"My brother...my brother's guaranteed admission was revoked because of you?!"
Si Yue was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Song Shiyi's eyelids twitched slightly, but he remained silent.
He Zhao's eyes were glistening with tears, the corners of his eyes were red, and his chest was heaving violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely agitated.
Do you know what he suffered because of this?
“My parents have never been this angry before; they even resorted to family discipline.”
Song Shiyi's breath hitched, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
“He was whipped a full 108 times, his back was covered in blood, and he was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall all night to admit his mistakes.”
"It took a week to get out of bed, and there are probably still marks on my back."
"It's all thanks to you!"
As he spoke, He Zhao was already in tears, his voice choked with emotion.
Because of this incident, He Jinzhao's relationship with his parents reached a freezing point.
Later, he went abroad and we could only see each other during the Chinese New Year.
Her already strained relationship with He Jinzhao became even more distant.
She was furious!
Song Shiyi couldn't help but choke up, her nose tingling, her eyes slightly red, and her shimmering eyes glistening with tears.
Si Yue's emotions were mixed. In truth, it was all because of these scumbags.
Enraged, she kicked Ye Ge twice more.
Wild Bro: "..."
Kick them! Why are you only focusing on him?
Si Yue didn't let the others off the hook either; anyone who tried to run away was beaten to the ground.
When He Jin rushed to the scene, this was the sight he saw.
A group of rainbow-haired girls lying around in all sorts of crooked positions, two with teary eyes, and Si Yue who would punch the person on the ground at the drop of a hat.
Oh, no, they're three eyes brimming with tears.
Because when the person on the ground saw him coming, tears instantly welled up in their eyes.
He went straight to Song Shiyi, his eyes filled with anxiety, and there was a little sweat on his forehead that he hadn't had time to wipe away, so it was clear that he had rushed over in a hurry.
Are you alright?
